[TB]  In Minneapolis campaign finance reports only need to list
contributors who give over $100 in a calander year.  In non-election
years the limit on contributions that can be accepted is $100 per
person meaning that there haven't been any reported contributions since
the last election year or 2001.  (Election year limits are $500 for
city wide race (Mayor, Park Board at large), $300 for Council Members)

That being said, at least some of the principals have been seen at
fundraisers, they likely gave the 100 bucks.

I don't think you're buying any of these folks for a $100 campaign
contribution ... even a $300 contribution.

Until Minneapolis has public financing of campaigns, we're going to
have to live with the contributions.
